Reimbursement Update 2010
AACC Audioconference
November 18, 2009

The United States’ Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is constantly "tweaking" the Medicare program to improve coverage, meet changing needs and reduce costs. This year is no exception. 

Decisions are being made—and implemented—that affect which tests are covered, whether a claim is accepted, how much a test is reimbursed and what constitutes fraud. 

Keeping abreast of these, and other key changes, can be challenging, but the American Association for Clinical Chemistry (AACC) and American Society for Clinical Laboratory Science (ASCLS) can make your job a little easier. Join its panel of experts for a 90-minute audioconference, where you will get the information you need to maximize your reimbursement and maintain your laboratory’s compliance.

In addition, get the latest on agency and congressional actions that may affect the clinical laboratory community. Attend this audioconference and learn:

• the most recent CPT coding changes and edits important to labs;
• the latest on the ongoing CCI/MUE initiatives;
• what Recovery Audit Contractors are doing to recoup Medicare payments;
• how the anti-markup regulations have changed;
• what modifications were made to the ABN; and
• recent changes to the date of service rule
